Tomf1234567. Only if it's Pachelbel's canon and not one of those noisy 105mm plus buggers.

Well done that man! Proud to have been one of 'the' Corps. Greetings to all Chunkies (5 Fld especially) Armoured Engineers (Yogis especially) Field Support (Especially 21) Hell the whole bloody Corps past and present.

The corps hard as nails, and smart as a tree full of owls

There should be singing...

[Remnants100]

Certainly the best Engineer poem of all,

by one of the greats, who was also one of us!

When you read the prose, very little has changed since Kipling's time ( Including the pay)

It makes me proud to be part of such an illustrious heritage.

God Bless, to all our lads / lasses who are still serving and to all other "Sappers" who have "Done their bit ".
